" ihavent believed US intelligence since the Iraq war and we didnt find any WMD''''s. "

Um.... it was a US Intelligence report that informed everyone that they didn''t find any WMDs...

"Would be like Canada coming in with Blackhawk helicoptors to bomb Seattle in order to take out a gang of Bloods or Crips that have been giving them trouble across the border.

We wouldnt let it happen either. "

WE wouldn''t let the bloods & crips get away with doing what Al Queda is doing - and would take the necessary steps to handle the situation ourselves to the best of our ability. If we were unable to do so & Canada WERE more capable of handling that situation, we would grant them the ability to take out the bloods & crips. What we WOULDN''T do is sit around & do little to nothing while refusing to let a more capable ally get the job done themselves...

See how that work you idiot?

From the above article, "Citing informants in the field, they said Pakistani troops and tribesmen responded with small arms fire, but it was not clear whether the bullets were aimed at the choppers or were warning shots."

"That account was denied by Pentagon officials.

"There was no such incursion, there was no such event," said Defense Department spokesman Col. Gary L. Keck."

Guess they were warning shots, not heard. Really, do those on the ground think you could possibly hear small arms fire from the ground in an Apache helicopter?

From above, "Interior Ministry chief Rehman Malik said Zardari, the prime minister and other top government officials were due to dine at the Marriott on Saturday, but they decided to change venue at the last minute.

However, a spokesman for the hotel owner denied this.

"We didn''t have any reservation of such a dinner that the government official is talking about," Jamil Khawar told The Associated Press.

Malik told reporters that "perhaps the terrorists knew" that the Marriott was the venue of the government dinner, saying the decision to switch venues "saved the entire leadership."

In other words, "At least not after we were tipped-off."

The Pakistani Army defends Osama Bin Laden. Al Qada pays Islamabad to protect Waziristan. The Saudis ordered George W. Bush to covertly safeguard Bin Laden. Why allow Al Qada to detonate bombs all over Pakistan? The Coalition should use stealth bombers on Waziristan''s support structures that feed the underground sanctuary. Pakistan will see it as an act of war, but they cannot stop it.

I told people two years ago that while the Right Reverend Jesus Bush was goofing in Irrelevant Iraq that pakistan was the real problem. They have been in jeopardy of becoming an extremist Islamic government for a long time now and THEY really do have WMD.

Republicans are sooooo stupid.

[kcblogger]

Another Bush/Republican failure. PERIOD.

Flew into border region, but there was no incursion. Right. U.S., that was dumb. Pakistan, a little cooperation here would be most helpful.

Insurgents are deliberately luring us into Pakistan to cause problems. No country wants fighting in their backyard, but it SHOULD be up to Pakistan to fight on their own turf-not us. That''s what they want!

"...Your figure of 1,000,000 dead...even when all parties are held accountable...is not even close."

"The surveys agree that mortality is much higher than is typically held in political discussions about Iraq. The highest figure, from Opinion Business Research, a private survey firm in London, is 1.2 million through August 2007. It is also the most recent."

Not even close? Sounds closer than the Bush lowball estimates taken from the oft-discredited "bodycount.org" figures.

But let us also count the displaced refugees, the wounded, and otherwise harmed Iraqis, who suffer only because of Bush''s lies, a figure estimated at 10 million.

Regardless of whatever number you subscribe to, the fact that the numbers are the result of Bush''s lies is the part that the pro-war advocates constantly fail to acknowledge, this alone makes their point invalid.

America was feeling lonely. I seemed she had no friends. Then along came Israel to offer friendship. And America was happy because she had now a true blue friend. It didn''t matter what the others said about how Israel sent America out to turn tricks every night. The desolate old *** took whatever she could get.
